1 ATTO Technology ExpressPCI Ultra/WIDE SCSI Host Adapters Installation and Operation Manual
1 What is ATTO ExpressPCI?
Compatible with virtually all popular SCSI devices, ATTO ExpressPCI host adapters will increase the
performance of disk-intensive applications such as digital video, prepress, multimedia and real-time.
The ATTO ExpressPCI SCSI adapter uses plug
and play technology to eliminate configuration
manipulation, including setting termination for
single-ended adapters. Insert the ATTO
ExpressPCI SCSI adapter into your PCI-based
computer and the adapter is configured according
to your system.
ATTO offers a variety of tools if you need to alter
the host adapter’s configuration. Refer to the
ExpressPCI Utilities manual for additional
information on these tools.
